Rigidity conjecture for circle maps of an oval
Rigidity conjecture for circle maps of an oval
Let be an oval. For directions and , let be the involutions induced by the family of parallel lines in those directions, and set . Rigidity conjecture. Suppose that is conjugated to a rotation for all pairs of directions . Then is an ellipse. This conjecture concerns the characterization of ellipses among ovals by the rotation-conjugacy of their associated circle maps; it is open as far as the source indicates.
